What Is It? It’s your typical figure-out-the-pattern game. Move the player in the correct order to get to the next level. Apple seems to like these for the free app of the week. This time we have a robot named Roofie (yes, that’s his name, so stop giggling) trying to save his family by getting to the next level. The premise seems too contrived. Roofbot’s graphics are cute, but not very detailed....

iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display both come in Apple’s new colors: Space Gray (aka black) and Silver (aka white).
